John G. Newberry Scrapbook Collection (MC 74)

John G. Newberry (1893-1965) served in the Columbus Police
Department from 1919 until 1953. During the latter years he was
Chief.

Scope and Content

Chief Newberry's wife, Eunice, probably compiled this
small scrapbook of clippings and the related loose items and
donated them to the Columbus College Archives.

It contains a small scrapbook of clippings, 1941-1949, and similar
materials dealing with Newberry and his term as the Columbus,
Georgia Chief of Police; a photograph of Judge Hubert Calhoun as a
boy; an article about the John Frank Stringfellow murder case in
which Chief Newberry was involved; and a photograph, brief
biography, and obituary of Edmund Wesley Joines (1833-1900), who
served as a Columbus policeman in the 1870s and 1880s. Joines was a
Confederate veteran captured several times by Union forces after
the Battle of Gettysburg.

1900-1950s 1 scrapbook & 8 items (.3 l.f.)
